On a night, when she is writing in the basement and everyone in Molchling sleeps, the village gets bombed. Liesel has started writing her own story, from the day her brother died. The book thief has a sad plot, but well written. The book thief, however, wasn’t his first novel, but it was his best. It took him seven years to publish his first book. Markus Zusak was so inspired after reading the old man and the sea from Ernest Hemingway and What’s eating by Gilbert Grape that he wanted to be a writer. When he was younger, he wanted to become a painter like his dad, but it was soon clear that he did not have the talent to do so. He grew up with stories from the second world war about Jews who lived in a little village where his mother grew up and that is what inspired him to write the book thief. He has a German mother and an Austrian father. He is an Australian writer and was born in Sydney on 23 June 1975. It's mysterious, because will he really die and when? There are things you cannot explain at the beginning of the book because you don’t know what is happening. The narrator of the book sometimes says things like, he is going to die. The book also has a mysterious atmosphere. He talks about lost souls and you get sad reading it. When death is talking, there is a sad atmosphere. The way some of the characters talk is very humorous. The atmosphere of the novel is hard to explain. It mainly took place in Nazi Germany in a town named Molchling. The book starts in 1939, right before the war begins and ends halfway in 1943. It took place in the second world war and is based on certain historical facts. It would be a flaw to put the book in one category because it contains so many of them, but I would say that the genre of the book is, historical. The book thief is a novel about the second world war, friendship, love, family and so many more.
